see... The reason why I don't baww at these fics like dashie and the above is because everyone gets their closure... In Dashie, he has the photos and the memories. He understands that she is happy and safe. That's incredible comfort to have despite the loneliness... And in this fic dash lives her life to the fullest. She has no regrets over missing out on the wonderbolts because she lived a truly wonderful life. Now she is dying and it is her choice. She told her children and she said goodbye. Not much more closure one can get, right?

No closure at all in the story that I have. It's not written too impressively, but damn it hurts. It hurts, not just because a pony died, or bad things happened. No, it hurts because there was no explanation for it. No rhyme or reason, and most definitely no sympathy. That's heartbreaking. Here's hoping you guys get a kick out of the only fanfic to date that has coaxed a sniffle out of my cold heartless throat.
